1995 Suzuki VS 800 Intruder Logo
Posted on Jun 20, 2009

My Suzuki 750 intruder 1991 does'nt start half the times I press the start switch!! When I turn on the ignition, the lights go on as normal, but it does nothing when I press the start switch, till I've pressed it many times and it finally starts. Sometimes it starts right away, but almost never. Any help out there???

I had the same problem on my 800 intruder, it turned out the contacts were bad in the clutch switch. Its an easy fix and easy to check. Disconnect the wires running into the housing for your lights and turn signals and bridge the connection. That will "hotwire" the bike telling it the clutch is pulled in, and try starting it. Chances are thats your problem. A simple $12.00 mostly plastic part... two srews on the under side of the housing will drop the switch out of the clutch assembly, you can take it apart and clean the contacts, but being as your bike like mine has some miles on it. It probably wouldn't hurt to replace it.

Could possibly just be a bad switch, take the switch case apart and verify by using a test light

Does the engine coolant indicator must light up when i turn the key before i start the motorcycle on a suzuki intruder vs 750 1991' ?

Should - on most cars when you first turn on the ignition all of your display lights go on to let you know that they are working. After turn on they go out. Should be the same for bikes.

U want to make sure that your "id**t" lights are always working to avert disaster.

How do I install Krator turn signals on my 1998 Suzuki intruder 800?

Not sure how to answer that. You unbolt the old ones and bolt in the new ones.

Bike won't start.

Try a jumper cable from a car. If that works, you probably have a bad battery. They can fail suddenly like that.

If a jump doesn't work, then you're probably looking for a bad ignition switch.

1991 gsxr 750 died while riding. won't crank over, no spark (it will crank over if you jump the solinoid) headlights and blinkers don't work, the neutral and oil lights come on and the relays click, no...

If it died while riding, this could be a broken wire, harness plug come loose, of faulty ignition switch, you will need to use a test light to check where the power is getting to.
The ignition switches switch a couple of different contacts when you turn the key, which could explain why the neutral lights come on and nothing else.

1991 suzuki 750 intruder, hot do you replace battery, do i need to take everything apart?

No, not at all.

Normal procedure is to turn off ignition and any plug in accessories and simply remove terminal connections.

The site below has exploded view diagrams for your bike to help with access. All sections are covered.

Battery has a vent tube attached that will come out with the battery. If stuck, remove tube from battery and pull from beneath bike. Identify tube as there is a few other tubes from carby/crank etc.

Cheers.
